[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, or "health goth" person (you are one and the same, right)... a question for you?  What areas of DC to you frequent?  If you walked down certain stretches of U Street or H Street or Columbia Hts with that gray stretch outfit, no one would blink an eye.  I saw a woman with green hair on the bus last night from Mt Pleasant to Dupont, and yes I noticed her, but mostly b/c she had a cute little boy with her.  I hardly looked at her askance.

I mean, if you're trying to succeed on K Street in all your funky glory, that's not going to work.  Neither would it on Wall St in NYC.

You sound pretty clueless. [/quote]

I live in Dupont and frequent all the areas youve named and I can assure you that I get a TON of looks.  I know I'm not imagining it- as I've said, others have pointed it out and gotten downright angry at the reactions of people. Of course, going out at night you get a younger crowd thats more accepting, but I'm talking in day-to-day life getting stared at no matter where I go.  In an unsavory, irritating way.[/quote]

Maybe you're just ugly. [/quote]
Or very pretty. Or self-conscious.

I think maybe I could be too pretty.  I know DCUM will jump on me but I dont care.  I am an almost dead ringer for Isla Fisher, I've gotten stopped by people asking if I'm her a few times.  I think sometimes the fashion-forwardness combined with good looks is kind of a shock in DC.  Most of the women here kind of look really mousy?  So I think it's a shot.  Generally I detest getting attention but I also like to express myself creatively so I guess thats what I'm torn between- I feel like being  an attractive/super fashion forward young woman in LA, no one would look twice, but being one in DC makes you a complete outlier.

Well what are you waiting for?  Go be avant garde and gorgeous in a fab city where you can get the positive attention you so crave and leave DC to we mousy work obsessed drudges.   Or do you enjoy being an outlier?  Big fish in a little pond and all that...

I am thinking about moving but it takes months to get everything in place.  For now I am stuck here  :cry: [/quote]

You poor thing.  In the meantime there's always the option of hanging out with your bestie, the mirror.
